Uneventful day. Did begin some cleanup, also cooked bacon and eggs. House still smells of bacon. Never make it as "Orthodox and Kosher". Don't do much cooking, but must start . Will neen
d to do it on the trip. Sharpened cattauragus sheath knife, but can't get to anything to cut down and test it. Too much snow. It feels good in the hand, just like the old days in the mountains. Used super glue and clothpins to hold the sheath together until I get to the leather to make a new sheath. Blade is like a razor. Prairie Ranger: "Every chance I had, I rode under Archie's watchful eye and I was beginning to feel rather confident that high off the ground. Archie swung his hat under the horse's nose; It reared and threw me to the ground. I yelled, "What did you do that for?" "A lesson. All horses can get skittish at the slightest and bolt or throw you."
